Business Overview
This is Ohashi Kakuya & Dancers' first research-based project. With Nagashima Kaku as dramaturge, the story is set in Koto Ward, which is undergoing transformation in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where a vampire searches for a place to live, absorbing the memories of the land and weaving them into dance. In 2014, the first season was presented as a dance performance titled "The World (A)" and an installation/talk piece titled "The World (B)." This second season will feature a traveling performance that allows the audience to experience the work while moving around, as well as a theater performance.
